Mark, Good plan. First download MSE from this web site: Arrow down to the three links in the body of the article to download MSE. Select the link appropriate for your OS, and your download will start immediately. As long as you have a genuine copy of Windows, the set-up and installation should be a breeze. There is no captcha, registration or special configuration settings to deal with. http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/09/first-look-microsoft-security-essentials-impresses.ars Then make sure you've absolutely and completely removed Norton. This is not just an uninstall, but also requires using the "Norton Removal Tool" that you'll need to download from their own web site. It's a pervasive program and is never completely removed until you run that program. Then install MSE.

Does Microsoft Security Essentials work well with JAWS? Is there a direct download?
